        <h3>Leonard Susskind</h3>
        <img src="./atc.jpg" alt="" />
        <p class="first">
          Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics
          at Stanford University, and Director of the Stanford Institute for
          Theoretical Physics. His research interests include string theory,
          quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics and quantum
          cosmology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and the
          American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an associate member of the
          faculty of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and a
          distinguished professor of the Korea Institute for Advanced Study.
        </p>
        <p>
          Professor Susskind received his PhD from Cornell University in 1965
          and has taught at Stanford since 1979. In 1997, Susskind was awarded
          the J.J. Sakurai Prize for his
          <q
            >pioneering contributions to hadronic string models, lattice gauge
            theories, quantum chromodynamics, and dynamical symmetry
            breaking.</q
          >
        </p>
        <p>
          Susskind is widely regarded as one of the fathers of string theory,
          having, with Yoichiro Nambu and Holger Bech Nielsen, independently
          introduced the idea that particles could in fact be states of
          excitation of a relativistic string. He was the first to introduce the
          idea of the string theory landscape in 2003.
        </p>
        <p>
          According to colleagues, Professor Susskind's hallmark has been the
          application of
          <q
            >brilliant imagination and originality to the theoretical study of
            the nature of the elementary particles and forces that make up the
            physical world.</q
          >
        </p>
        <p>
          He is the author of two popular books on modern physics: The Cosmic
          Landscape, and the bestseller The Black Hole War, which describes how,
          over the course of 25 years, Susskind ultimately convinced Stephen
          Hawking that Hawking's theory of Black Hole entropy was incorrect.
        </p>
        <p>
          His current work on black hole firewalls is discussed in this New York
          Times article. He recently gave a lecture on the topic at the Kavli
          Institute for Theoretical Physics (UCSB), and co-authored a paper with
          Juan Maldacena that proposes Einstein-Rosen bridges as an alternative
          to black hole firewalls.
        </p>
        <p>
          Professor Susskind teaches a very popular series of Stanford
          Continuing Studies courses in modern physics called The Theoretical
          Minimum. This website presents those courses. He is writing a series
          of companion books to the courses also called The Theorectical
          Minimum.
